Review The Foxtrot - Crows Nest

Seriously one of best bars in Sydney. The cocktails are delicious. The ambiance was exciting and the staff welcoming, would highly recommend.

Absolutely loved the food here. The duck pate and migoreng chicken wings were divine. Great staff and service. Keen to come back and try out more items on the menu as I'm sure everything is delicious as.

If you are clever enough to find the entry. You'd be foolish not to walk in. From the start you are blown away from the excellent service and atmosphere. The cocktails we had were divine, the food delicious, service is caring. Will have to make it my regular.

Such a cool place to spend quarlity time with your dear friends. Absolutely enjoyed every minutes. The cheese board is highly recommendable. So dose the rest of the menu. No doubt will be here again soon.

Make sure you book, nice cosy venue. The pavlova drink is the best! They have a variety of drinks and small nibbles as well.

Was here with some friends two nights ago for some post-work drinks. Great decor, great cocktails and exceptional service. A big shout out should go to Charlie and Isaac who made us feel very accommodating and welcomed! Would definitely be back!

Fantastic food and drinks, James and his team are lovely people who get down to a personal level with their customers and give accurate recommendations on what their next drink should be. I’d highly recommend The Foxtrot to anyone who likes trying a wide range of very unique beers, ciders and seltzers. Huge props to the people in the kitchen with the steak sandwich :)

High end cocktail bar in Crows Nest who take pride in their unique creations. Table bookings essential

Popped in for a cocktail here last night and had the best time! I had the spiced rum and pear cocktail which I highly recommend:) looking forward to working my way through the menu :)

On our fourth or fifth visit here we are very impressed again with excellent service! Nikola and Jeremy are the best bar staff we have encountered in Sydney yet! They deserve a massive pay rise!! They have remembered us every time too! They are truly an asset to this place ���

Awesome place for my birthday with great cocktails, ambience and a great bar manager James

Love this hidden away old school cocktail bar. Delicious and lovingly made drinks and a cosy atmosphere. Staff are friendly and vibe is relaxed.

Clever James ...love the way you are running this place .

Great cocktails, good food and very friendly staff! Highly recommend it !!

Great bar with top staff, food and drinks. An icon in Crows Nest and an experience not to be missed.

Our group from various countries had a wonderful evening at the Foxtrot last night. Great atmosphere and the staff were friendly as was the owner. Superb job with the decor and open fire Dave! Def be there again.

Amazing atmosphere SPECTACULAR cocktails and a decent feed. Neatly hidden away . Can't wait till next time...

Went there on wednesday night for 3 for 10 tacos to celebrate my birthday. Food, drinks, and service were amazing! good music, good setting. Thanks guys!

Went in for one. Stayed for five. The good looking bar tenders added to the ambiance.

I was in here last Friday night excellent service , great crowd, cocktails were amazing , without going in to the city this is the best little bar north of the bridge and makes me want to go back more! Great job guys see you again soon!

Great atmosphere, great location and perfect for a group of friends :)

The spiced rum and pear juice was amazing! Plus the food divine, will be back! Great service too!

Some alright beers, cracking cocktails and some of the best tunes around

Great range of drinks. And an open fire and a couch. Great winter spot for a quiet catch up

This is such a cute little spot! I’m sooo glad I discovered it ! Very NYC style bar feel ! I felt like I was in Soho! Great music, ambience, the fireplace and staff adding wood to the fireplace every few hours adds to the experience. (Love wood fireplace smell) 🔥 <br/>My friends ordered food and said it was yummy. I just had some olives and a few vodka 🍹 sodas. Definitely on my go to list now for a chill night out!

Great little bar in Crows Nest to start or finish your night - this isn't an area I know well so this bar was recommended by a mate and we wanted cocktails before dinner & they delivered. Bar staff are super friendly and add a really chill vibe. Highly recommended (believe they serve food as well)<br/>

A classic bar with an alter ego. Foxtrot Inn offers both a snazzy bar and dining area downstairs and a more fresh, café-style seating area upstairs. Though this bar classifies itself as an American bar and restaurant, I did feel more of an Italian vibe with the food.<br/><br/>I visited with an invite from @cherri_cupcake and tried a few items from their set menu.<br/><br/>We had the truffle fries ($12), arancini ($14), vego pizza ($10), prawn pizza ($10) and the margherita pizza ($10) as well as a blood orange mojito and mango and coconut smoothie.<br/><br/>Arancini balls were deliciously crispy on the outside and were stuffed with mushroom and truffle. Presentation was really cute and I liked how the balls were resting on a little dollop of aioli. Truffle fries were pretty decent too. I would've preferred a little more crunch though.<br/><br/>All the pizzas were top notch and I particularly liked the margherita and the prawn pizza. The margherita was simple but I felt that this really let the flavours shine. The prawn pizza had a surprise kick to it which elevated the whole dish. The vego pizza was colourful and probably looked the most exciting to me. Personally, I don't like rocket so it was my least favourite because of that.<br/><br/>Overall, the food and drinks are pretty special at Foxtrot Inn. The only thing I will say is that service is extremely long. My friend and I waited an hour for our dishes to arrive and that was after we reminded them that we had been waiting for a while.<br/><br/>If you'd like to read more of my reviews, please check out my zomato page and visit @cynthiaeats_ on Instagram for more photos!

It’s always exciting to find a ‘hidden gem’. That’s exactly how I felt when I went to The Foxtrot. Hidden from the outside but definitely gave me a ‘wow’ factor once I stepped in into this Bar.<br/>The cozy and relaxing ambience was just the beginning. Depending on what your mood is, you can choose to sit downstairs or upstairs. Upstairs area (greener pastures) would be perfect if you prefer a brighter, greener and summery vibe :)<br/>It was still bright when we came but we chose to sit downstairs to experience the ‘night out’ feeling.<br/>The drinks that we had:<br/>Cognac & Cumquat Cobbler (my favourite)<br/>Good Fortune<br/>Strawberry Thyme<br/>Food was absolutely amazing! We ordered:<br/>Truffle Fries<br/>Arancini<br/>Rocket, Pear and Parmesan Salad<br/>Prosciutto Pizza<br/>and Meat and Cheese Board<br/>I couldn’t even pick my favourites as I seriously loved them all!

Pretty cool bar with a nice open air upstairs area. Food is quite nice (truffle fries were delicious) but a bit pricey. Friendly service. Nice cozy interior with cool looking lounge area. <br/><br/>Extensive cocktail list, but limited tap beers (one of them was very good, I think it was a pale ale)<br/><br/>Limited space upstairs, but has a nice ambiance if you can get a spot.

“You’ve just ordered the two hardest drinks on the menu,” the bartender at The Foxtrot tells my dining companion. Sorry, not sorry, I’m having my Diced Diamonds ($19) anyway. Leaving aside that it was on a page called the Ladies’ List, it’s a subtly serious drink blending house-infused pineapple tequila, lightly smoky Ilegal Mezcal Reposado, orange juice, lime juice, agave syrup and passionfruit pulp. Conforming to gender stereotypes, I like it better than Ray’s Remedy ($24) from the Gentleman's List, despite usually being a whisky cocktail fan. It’s basically Penicillin, made on Chivas 12-year-old Scotch whisky, lemon juice, ginger, honey and a Laphroaig float. I suspect my preference is because they promised me peat, and delivered me my Laphroaig "float" via a single spray from an atomiser. These cocktails take so long our whole meal is sitting and waiting in the leafy, open-air loft before they’re ready. This could be remedied by delivering cocktails, but with less than forty people in the split-level bar, the staff informed us they don’t do table service when they’re busy. Charles Curnow on the other hand, is clearly used to doing volume. He’s the ‘Madman’ behind Chef’s Kitchen; once a bricks and mortar shop in St Leonards; then a food truck that...

In Short: Chef’s Kitchen at the Foxtrot Inn combines all the amazing burger, fries, and wings style comfort foods that their food truck is so famous for, in a setting that transports you to a world of speakeasy cool, and conversation friendly pub spaces. Tip: The Meaty Ménage and Wings are a must do!

Visiting from interstate for a friends birthday here on Saturday night. She had booked the upstairs room. It was a great little space for the number of people attending. For food, we all shared the cheese & charcuterie boards, grilled halloumi tacos, pulled pork sliders and sweet potato wedges and shoestring fries. All the food was tasty. For drinks, I enjoyed the ginger spice cocktail – very tasty and loved the added touch of cubed ginger on a toothpick as a garnish.

Fly in the wall bar which looks small from the outside but is quite large on the inside. Came here for dinner and drinks on a Friday night... Great atmosphere with more quiet areas and lounge instead of the main bar area if you prefer that. <br/>Delicious hot wings! Not too spicy, just enough. Truffle chips was pretty delish too. The chicken cous cous salad was a rather large portion, along with the chips and chicken. All in all, great food!

Lovely little bar, I love to sit upstairs in the little garden. The bar men are so nice and have good beer recommendations. I didn't like sitting down stairs very much though. I will keep coming here for a refreshing after work drink

An inconspicuous entrance leads you up the stairs to this small bar with more nooks and crannies than an English muffin. Actually, the place is bigger than it seems with chesterfield lounges in the back room to the side of the bar, which also doubles as a private function room. You'll smell the truffle fries before you see them, and it makes for a nice bar snack, along with the guacamole and chips, and sliders.

What a cute, quirky, cosy little joint! The bartenders here are skilled and charming, and have a bit of fun themselves with their cool playlist ;) Visited a few times and will be back for more for cheeky flirty cocktails.. For such a small bar it really leaves a lasting impact - my favourite in Crows Nest (followed by the Hayberry for their burgers!!)

Usually a great friendly experience at the Foxtrot but tonight we ordered a bottle of wine which made us all sick. We sent it back and told the staff (and owner) how sick it made us but they didn't seem to care and were very dismissive. $50 is a lot to pay for a wine that was so bad we couldn't finish it, and we expected the bar to take a little bit more responsibility. I wouldn't recommend heading there anytime soon.

Non descript white arch door on Falcon St next to the Japanese sake bar. It feels like you're on a treasure hunt trying to find this place and if you didn't already know about the mystery of The Foxtrot, you would be forgiven for walking right past the joint.<br/>When you walk in, you'll instantly notice the fake lawn and seating to the right hand side of you. In some ways, it has a Midwestern vibe. Not sure if that was the theme they were going for but that's what they achieved. Plus, there is a piano at the top of the stairs, the velvet curtains and seats helps create that theme. Funny thing is, this bar feels like a labyrinth. Multiple nooks and they even have an area called the 'garden' which is made up of artifical lawn and flora. I don't know if I love it, but heck, it worked for this place.<br/>Came here on a quiet Sunday night which was nice. My girlfriend and I ordered slingers and washed it down with some tantalising cocktails. We had to maintain our intake because we were both driving.<br/>Great place to chill and catch up with friends. It has a real laid-back atmosphere, but I can't imagine this to be the case for a Friday or Saturday evening.<br/>To be honest, I really live this place for all of its novelty values. Come on a night where it's quiet and you get to chat to the bar man and get all the insight into their cocktail list and some of his favourite drinks on the menu. If you're lucky, he might just concoct a little something special for you.

Won't mention names but the staff are so arrogant about what they do. It's a pokey little overcrowded overrated venue with a cramped upstairs section and the bottom level is nothing to rave about either. The drinks seemed to be watered down which I know is a dubious claim but for the price and location I've had better cocktails and less arrogant service from my grandmother. If your up for smug staff, crappy cocktails, no room and a noisy overcrowded terrace dressed up in "funky" decor that is quite frankly out of the $2 dollar shop and passed off as chic then by all means go to the foxtrot. We will not make the same mistake again.

The waiters are all charming and clearly love their work, they know the menu by heart and are genuinely friendly.<br/>The drinks are great the food was ok (pizza and bar food) which felt in theme because really it’s all about the special cocktails, wines and spirits and the hanging-out for a chat in this small, quirky and cool bar.<br/>We had fun all night,

On the edge of Crows Nest lies this little gem, open to 3am with bottle holding service.

Bar Cruiser. Great waiters ........... good food ............... nice all around

Love it.. Such a great vibe and the service is amazing. <br/>cant think of any where else i'd rather be!

This place is awesome. The atmosphere is amazing!

I love this place!. What an awesome departure from the traditional pubs and cafes in the area. The Foxtrot has just the right blend of small, arty, cool without being pretentious or over the top. Amazing when you look at how tiny it seems from the outside that they have managed to provide very cool little areas throughout - from the "reading room" at the front to the arty bar in in the middle, the lodge style lounge area at the back and a great grotto style verandah at the top. Pizzas are very yummy and the wine list good without breaking the bank.

Foxed My Trot. It's like a time warp. As soon as you enter, 1920's style cocktail music dance around your ears. There are plenty of small nooks and crannies positioned up along an old creaky stair case- perfect hiding places. Even when it's busy, you feel like you've escaped the hustle and bustle, and instantly relax.

Awesome small bar. Pizza was quality. Relaxed chilled vibe. Glad I found it!
